What to Do When a Child Has a Sudden Nosebleed During a Cold?

If your little one suddenly starts bleeding from the nose, it might be due to a cold or nasal congestion. It’s important to immediately press the sides of the nostrils with your thumb and index finger to stop the bleeding. After about five minutes, release your fingers to check if further treatment is needed. If bleeding persists, repeat the compression for another five to ten minutes. In most cases, applying pressure can stop the bleeding, but if it continues, seek medical attention promptly. During treatment, patients should pay attention to their diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
